[quote:dc0e0]The legality of Airsoft in Canada continues to be a heated debate with many proponents and opponents. Canada officially classifies airsoft as "replica firearms", which requires a license for ownership in Canada. As such, all airsoft found in shipments to Canada without a proper license application will likely be seized.
However, this policy does not seem to be federally uniform, and some local jurisdictions have demonstrated different interpretations of the law. There have been rumors that airsoft guns modified to shoot above 450fps could be classified as BB guns, and hence would not require a license for ownership in Canada. Canadian laws define BB guns to be weapons that shoot over 450fps and have the ability to cause "serious bodily harm". However this is not confirmed and we have not had experience with successfully importing an airsoft gun into Canada based on this classification.[/quote:dc0e0]
